In the late 20th century, information
has acquired two major utilitarian connotations. On the one hand, it is
considered an economic resource, somewhat on par with other resources such as
labour, material, and capital. This view stems from evidence that the
possession, manipulation, and use of information can increase the
cost-effectiveness of many physical and cognitive processes. The rise in
information-processing activities in industrial manufacturing as well as in
human problem solving has been remarkable. Analysis of one of the three
traditional divisions of the economy, the service sector, shows a sharp increase
in information-intensive activities since the beginning of the 20th century. By
1975 these activities accounted for half of the labour force of the United
States, giving rise to the so-called information society. A. the remarkable rise in information-processing activities B. a sharp increase in information-intensive activities C. information as an economic resource D. the birth of information society [单项选择]
